shades of puff-osity













Well, at long last I have completed the lampshade project.
I best be careful as my client (friend) hasn't seen them yet and may be disappointed. I hope not, because this was a major freakin' challenge and they are FINISHED I tell you.
Next time someone asks me to whip up a little something, I might think twice.
Still, it has been a learning experience and I am happy with the result. Bringing suffolk puffs to the wider community is my self-appointed crusade. Ha ha ha.
Now I might be able to read a few more books as my quota has been well down lately, and I might be able to get to sleep & wake up without thinking about the shades.
Thanks to Cintia at My Poppet for introducing me to the glories of the hot glue gun! I love you for that tip. What would I have done without it?

They look amazing Emma, you've done a fantastic job. I wonder what will become of them after the event? Should auction them off for charity.
